hello welcome to Dave's aquarium
0:32
thoughts I'm Dave uh finally live uh
0:35
sorry I had a few uh hiccups on here um
0:39
right now I'm primarily here just maybe
0:41
do just do a little hangout maybe uh uh
0:44
hello Anthony's fishy friends I saw you
0:46
say yo up in there anyways um thanks for
0:50
waiting if you're still around uh thanks
0:52
for anyone else who comes up I'm going
0:54
to do a little bit of testing here as
0:57
well as seeing what's going on um
1:00
basically I did uh get a new webcam
1:03
trying out another one I had one which I
1:05
didn't like the way that the audio
1:07
sounded um so I'm going to try the audio
1:11
on this webcam uh right now I'm using
1:13
the microphone from my laptop which I
1:17
know has been a decent one it works so
1:22
that's why I'm using that one right now
1:24
uh I will switch over though to the uh
1:27
webcam shortly just to test it out
1:30
um I can see that I'm getting plenty of
1:32
um levels on my laptop
1:35
one and I also have a few other things I
1:37
want to try out if I can on the um
1:40
streaming software as well um although I
1:44
did forget one thing uh which I'm gonna
1:46
have to take care of uh so I will be
1:48
right
1:49
back uh I just need to uh get a headset
1:53
uh set up because basically otherwise uh
1:56
one thing I do want to test uh if it's a
1:59
possibility to I do want to test
2:00
something while where I will need the
2:02
headset on so I will be right back so
2:06
give me a
2:11
[Music]
2:28

3:02
[Music]
3:16
[Music]
3:18
alrighty I'm back sorry about that um
3:21
anyways I just wanted to get the headset
3:24
I don't know if I'm going to need them
3:25
tonight but I I might so I'm not quite
3:28
sure if they are operating right now but
3:30
I guess I'll find out shortly
3:33
enough um me see where I'm at here
3:37
um oh that's just the
3:40
laptop let me see output
3:45
[Music]
3:47
destination yeah that's not going to
3:49
work oh well um I'll figure it
3:53
out I'm just afraid I'm going to get
3:56
feedback if I do it this way but um
4:01
it's not
4:02
good got audio Source output ah there we
4:05
go okay now now I got what I needed
4:08
anyways um Anthony are you still out
4:10
there uh let me know uh how the audio is
4:13
um I'm gonna go ahead and switch over to
4:16
the uh microphone on the uh webcam here
4:18
for a
4:19
second um if someone's in there if
4:22
someone's out there in the chat please
4:23
let me know how it goes I will let you
4:25
know when I switch to it um let me go
4:27
ahead and do that right now switch over
4:30
to the microphone on the um
4:34
webcam which I just did right now I
4:37
don't know how the audio level is I do
4:39
not know how the audio
4:41
sounds but I'm hoping it's okay uh the
4:45
levels don't seem as high as the one on
4:48
the uh laptop is which uh if that's the
4:52
case uh I I don't know what I'm going to
4:54
do on that but uh well it seems like I'm
4:57
having plenty of level on the uh
4:59
software itself I just don't know how it
5:01
sounds on the other side but I will
5:03
probably rewatch The Stream afterwards
5:05
if no one is here to tell me which I
5:08
don't I don't think anyone is here right
5:10
now I know Anthony was here for a second
5:12
ago I don't know how long ago he was but
5:15
anyways thanks for talking by anony
5:17
hopefully you'll come back uh shortly
5:19
eventually um but yeah uh me go back to
5:23
my laptop uh microphone because I know
5:27
that
5:27
works and no one's there to tell me what
5:31
it is right now
5:33
so I know it's a little bit late and
5:36
this is just this is primarily not a big
5:38
web uh live stream I just want to do
5:41
some testing uh which is what I'm doing
5:43
right now I just want to see how this uh
5:46
webcam works and all that it seems to be
5:49
working fine one nice thing on on this
5:51
one I do have is I do have a little
5:54
remote I like the image I like the way
5:57
the uh I do like the way way that the uh
6:00
image
6:01
looks uh I think it's nice and clear I
6:04
could probably use more lighting the
6:06
other webcam I had had like a little
6:09
ring light on it h it's okay this one
6:12
doesn't have it so one of my sizes isn't
6:15
as well lit I do have a light up above
6:18
which I guess helps but it has Shadows
6:21
uh which is fine as well but uh if I
6:23
turn off that light I'm probably going
6:25
to have issues but I can also zoom in
6:30
if you want to see all my face and all
6:33
my glory but um yeah this is a nice
6:36
little feature on it I'm I'm pretty sure
6:38
that little thing on the screen probably
6:40
shows up unfortunately as well but
6:42
hopefully when when I'm doing a live
6:44
stream I don't do that too often so but
6:46
I do W to yeah it shows up on the live
6:49
stream which is one thing I don't like
6:51
I'm GNA have to see if there's a way
6:52
around
6:53
that it's okay it gives me the option to
6:56
zoom in so if I want to zoom in a little
6:58
bit more when I'm talking on the live
7:00
stream but I I I kind of do like it
7:03
further back that way it
7:05
um it shows more of the back and you can
7:08
see my uh uh that way aquarium right
7:12
right over here um basically I did uh
7:15
finish the uh planning planner boxes I
7:18
got the uh I did get the plants in there
7:21
I got um a variety of very I think it's
7:24
variegated
7:25
peacey uh I forget the whole name on it
7:27
and I also have another PL in there as
7:29
as well as the pathas I put in there uh
7:31
you suggestions about getting the
7:34
um clay Pebbles uh that way it helps
7:38
with the
7:39
roots uh something to cling on to um
7:43
looking at it though I the Box the
7:45
little squares in there really doesn't
7:47
hold a lot of uh pebbles in there so I
7:50
kind of kind of puts them in there just
7:51
for
7:52
support nice thing about those is uh
7:55
they do float so if they get get loose
7:58
which I hope isn't the case they do
8:01
float on this they will float on the
8:04
surface and I could easily find and uh
8:07
pick them
8:08
up but if anyone is here if anyone is
8:11
doing the rewatch uh let me go show you
8:13
what I have I'll probably do a video on
8:15
this as well at a later point in time um
8:18
it's just a matter of just putting it
8:19
together but let me go for a walk with
8:22
my camera here oops sorry about the show
8:25
there uh it's going to take some walk in
8:28
here but basically this is uh the plants
8:32
I have that's the Planters I I did uh
8:34
that side as well I did have to redo the
8:37
uh hooks uh primarily I did the old uh
8:41
wire in the uh wire in the air tubing
8:44
trick I don't know if you can see it
8:45
that well because there's no it's hardly
8:47
any Lighting in there uh but uh this one
8:50
is the paus I had growing in there
8:53
that's a paes I originally had in there
8:54
and now it's in its own little planner
8:56
box with it little clay balls um uh that
9:00
is the uh unknown plant I forget the
9:02
name of it but I did post it in the uh
9:06
my my
9:07
Instagram uh I have another larger piece
9:10
of that in the corner here as well which
9:13
has some growth in there but I don't
9:15
know how all that's going to do once uh
9:17
because it is gonna have to probably get
9:19
used to being in the water substrate
9:21
rather than dirt substrate I had a rinse
9:24
off all the dirt tonight as well when I
9:26
did this this is a the smaller portion
9:28
of the varigated piece Lily I have and
9:32
this is the larger piece right here as
9:34
well which is kind of nice because it
9:36
kind of does hide the um title 55 a
9:39
little bit better than just having it
9:41
out in the open let me go ahead and do a
9:44
little 360
9:47
there and put that back down in
9:50
there reset
9:53
my
9:55
camera the way I like it uh kind of kind
9:58
of wish I had a wireless camera I could
10:01
do that which would be nice if I could
10:02
have my phone set up to do that that
10:04
would been nice but it is what it
10:08
is uh so anyways um I'm probably gonna
10:11
be that's probably gonna be it for my
10:14
testing um and looks like everyone's
10:17
busy tonight and they probably don't
10:18
want to do a testing stream I do have
10:21
some plans for some live streams in the
10:23
future um I do have one topic and then
10:26
I'm GNA I'm going to try to get back
10:27
into this live stream kind of business
10:29
and do some of the old stuff I used to
10:31
do I have a few ideas on that as well I
10:33
just need to jot them down before I
10:35
forget uh some of the old things I used
10:37
to do
10:39
um a little kind of hopefully things
10:42
that are like kind of fun for you guys
10:44
fun for me and fun for uh live streaming
10:49
anyways um I think I'm gonna head out uh
10:53
primarily because it is late tonight I
10:54
do have to work early in the morning and
10:57
I did work early this morning as well so
10:59
I just want to do a little more testing
11:02
on my uh webcam right here on the
11:06
audio and see what I have here and right
11:10
now it's on the laptop and I'm G to
11:11
switch back over to the webcam
11:15
microphone right
11:18
about now now it is in the webcam audio
11:22
I'm hoping this is okay because I really
11:23
don't want to return this one again uh
11:27
this one anyways but it where's coming
11:29
the worse I could always um what's iall
11:32
it get a better microphone or just use
11:35
the microphone on my laptop but I rather
11:37
just have a separate different kind of
11:39
microphone to use if that makes any
11:42
sense uh although I do I do like the
11:45
video quality on this this uh webcam so
11:48
I might might keep this one return the
11:49
other one or I might just keep both and
11:51
have the other one for other things in
11:54
the process of live streaming kind of
11:56
have a two camera system um
12:01
hopefully you can hear what I'm
12:02
saying um of course I didn't put do not
12:05
disturb on my on my phone so you
12:07
probably hear my notification go off uh
12:10
anyways uh that is going to be it for my
12:12
testing that is g to be it for my live
12:14
stream today and I hope everyone has a
12:16
good good night and I hope uh anyone
12:20
that does rewatch this in the future
12:22
enjoys it as much as it's not really
12:25
that big that exciting I will hopefully
12:28
be getting into to my uh swing of things
12:31
again and hopefully I can get uh more
12:34
exciting live streams in the future
12:37
again talk more about aquarium stuff I
12:40
know my previous live streams I did uh a
12:43
lot of those testing a lot of getting
12:44
back into live stream was actually
12:46
building my planner box and I showed off
12:48
a little bit ago anyways anyways have a
